Some of the shorebirds that breed on the arctic tundra of the District of Mackenzie (Northwest Territories) and Alaska fly southeastward across Canada to the Atlantic coast and finally follow this oceanic route to the mainland of South America.

Lawrence Vankoughnet, deputy superintendent general of Indian Affairs, argued that the government was not responsible for providing relief, as their land was "situated some fifty miles north of the boundaries of Treaty No. 6, and is, therefore, outside of Treaty limits.
Nevertheless, in 1883, the petitions prompted Vanhoughnet to suggest to Prime Minister John A. Macdonald the advantages of negotiating treaty with the Athabasca-Mackenzie District Indians:
The Indians in the unceded portions of the Territories are not numerous; but at the same time they could of course do great injury to any railway or any public work which might be constructed in their country, unless the Government had a previous understanding with them relative to the same.

 Nickle's History
Scattered exploratory tests were being punched down by cable-tool rigs at sites that would soon become hallmarks of the Alberta industry: Taber in the south; Pouce Coupe, Peace River and "The Athabaska Tar Sands" in the north.
But in 1937, the Canadian oil industry was Turner Valley, and the industry's health - including the health of the Bulletin - crested and fell with the tides of Turner Valley.
That "ad-hoc" employment agency function, Frantz said, would later pay handsome dividends -- years later, important contacts would be cultivated amongst executives and district managers who had been sent along to new jobs on the strength of Bulletin Ups.

He was stationed at the Rivière-aux-Rats, or Rat River, in the Athabaska district, which is situated, according to Judge Johnson's evidence, about 2000 miles from York Factory, and over 1200 miles from the Red River Settlement.
It is one of the most remote districts, and is without the limits of the Hudson Bay Company territories proper; the jurisdiction of the Company extended over this post, and still extend over it.
It is idle, therefore, in the opinion of the Court to contend that Rat River or the Athabaska Country are or were ever within the chartered limits of the Hudson's Bay territories.
